Alphaville – Lies

Baby

What do I do

Playing my tune for you

Just to get you in the mood

Everybody’s going to hollywood

You’re driving me mad

But I’m smiling to the crowd instead

A lot of money is at stake, this is a hit and that’s a fake

This is what you mean to me

This is what they all should see

Make a make up in a foolish style

Telling the truth by making a big lie

When I come, I come but nothing’s at ease

Breaking up the whole is a modern disease

Maybe you think tomorrow’s just a joke

It’s a joke after joke after joke after joke

My love

Everything’s an interview

And nothing’s really new

And everybody’s looking for clues and you know what to do with a clue

My love

Get ready for the show

They’re waiting and they will never go

This night is just a go

And it’s only for show

Dig that deal and be a millionaire

Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere

Getting jetlagged with my business friends in these supersonic wonderlands

There’s a flicker on the graphic display, first he’s smiling then he’s fading away

Maybe he thinks tomorrow’s just a joke

It’s a joke after joke after joke after joke
